One advantage of creosote is that it is fairly harmless to the wider environment, though extremely nasty to the local one. I do not subscribe to the carcinogenesis fetish - that is a creation of the tabloids and their dependent politicians. So in your opinion creosote isn't carcinogenic? I don't think that you are a complete idiot, so please don't post like one. There are three aspects to the carcinogenesis fetish: 1) Regarding carcinogenetic properties as being inherently worse than other harmful effects, such as "gender bending", teratogenesis, the induction of early-onset Alzheimers and so on. 2) Regarding any evidence of carcinogenetic properties as being grounds for banning things, irrespective of whether the evidence is based on immense exposure or whether the estimated incidence is negligible. 3) Ignoring the fact that many essential chemicals and other factors are carcinogenetic, and that excluding everything that has been shown to be carcinogenetic would be lethal in short order.
